Way to fuck over us forum goers again, Numbus. Not even the damned donators can use the forum while you bitch and whine. At least give them exclusive access while you bitch about people not donating. Also, maybe you should do something brilliant like creating a new policy asking people to host their content off site. ...oh, wait, I forgot. Then you wouldn't have ease of access to it. tldr; Pay your own fucking bills.

My god, that last post was sad. Numbus, do the subscriptions to this site somewhat help the forums?

Also (I'm so stupid, should've added this before), do the subscription here allow me to use the other sites from HentaiGroup, or do I have to pay for each?

Well, I may be a pretty big leech, but I'm doing my part now. Hopefully everyone else does the same. Is that donation meter automated? I hasn't updated since I donated.

I donated a few dollars, but seriously, how is this costing you $7000? Maybe you should think about switching providers if this one is charging you that much. And many of us can't afford to send money every month.

It cost him $7000 because he'd rather rack up bills and bitch about them than tell posters to host their content elsewhere and put some fucking effort into saving it for himself.

Both of the Anonymous people(If they're different people.) are fucking gay ass retards,who's heads are so far up thier asses that they can see daylight if they open their mouths! Why don't you take your bum ass, jump off a cliff, and do us all a favor. When I'm back home in a few days, I'll crack open my Paypal info, and donate some big-ones.

Great... I hope people don't think that I'm the "anons" here just because of my comment on the previous update. Still, I can understand needing money for the forum, but I think that there are other alternatives that would work so much better than giving us a forum message, such as invite only, or paying monthly. I don't think many people will donate after they read your speech you have up currently

Wtf is wrong with you people? He asks for some donations to keep an otherwise FREE site running and you all whine and bitch like a group of damn children. Grow the fuck up, and either donate, keep your fucking mouths shut or simply get the fuck out. It's that simple.

Just a message for all of you Anons commenting here(save for mew). You're probably just sad becuase you can't leech any more. Kindly shut your mouths. Numbus is trying his best to keep this place alive for you fuckers so you can get one fap in before school. I'd show him some appreciation.

Good for you Numbus for taking a stand with the whole forum thing. People that complain about you closing the forums down are retarded to say the least, or perhaps they are underage? -_-' Regardless, to you crying bitches, if you won't donate anything for free hentai so you can cum on your parents keyboard, then you have no right to complain because you have quite literally fucked yourselves. Welcome to the real world people.

lol money grabing and updateing boring stuff

To comment nr 1. Actually am going to make it so that people with CHL & Donator status will be able to access the forum even when it is shut down like this. I just couldn't get that done yesterday. I will see or I can find the part in the code today that allows other user groups to navigate the forum even though it is down. Comment nr 2. Subscriptions ot Hentai Palm, Doujin-World and Harem Hentai help with the bill paying, so if you are a member on any of those, thank you for helping out. Comment nr 3. Manually updating it every so many hours. I just updated it again. Comment nr 4. I know Method-X, I don't expect people to pay money every month, I don't complain about the lower donations in general, this month on the other hand I simply have no choice to do otherwise. Comment nr 5. It costs me $7000 regardless where the fck the content is hosted or not. I don't rack up the bills it clearly states on top of the forum that it is 2265 USD a month for hosting costs. I didn't change that number since June 2007. So you shouldn't even bother bringing that argument up to begin with. I make no secret about how much it costs me monthly & how much people donate. Comment nr 6. No doubt someone that has a general dislike towards this site to begin with. Someone that got banned of the forum perhaps? Who knows. They can voice their opinion about this matter all the want. The simple fact is that he is just one of those tumbers that keeps saying I should get off site hosting for my attachments, which obviously shows they either have no fucking clue about hosting to begin with or just simply don't listen at all to the multiple statements I made about this subject on the forum. Comment nr 7. I had been working on subscription section for the forum so I wouldn't have to do this anymore, however I encountered some problems with the Canadian sign up for CCbill, in other words I have to look into partnering with someone in the USA to actually get an account set up there. And like stated earlier, I am going to try to get the forum opened for people that already did donate before. Comment nr 8. A very blunt but correct way of putting it ;) Comment nr 9. Comment speaks for itself really. Comment nr 10. My point exactly people have the right to complain but have to actually have a valid argument to complain if you ask me. I already said I was sorry for doing it this way and I wasn't trying to get the forum shut off, sadly enough this is the only way to actually get the required funds before I actually have to shut down the forum. When that happens people either lag or cry but it will take me another month or 2/3 to get it back up again.

Tis the season, eh? I am more then willing to donate a few bucks. How many hours of enjoyment (or minutes for those of you with less stamina) have we gotten from this site? It's only fair to help out with it. Besides, if you want the free stuff, better be willing to help carry the load every now and again.

To whoever those Anon posts are coming from, I have 2 things to say to you; 1- Fuck off. Even if the forum was operational right now no one would want you even remotely browsing them as you can't seem to keep your idiotic thoughts and opinions to yourself. You are a drain on the hentai society and especially this site you leeching cock-mongling waste of air and space. 2- I know Numbus very well, he isn't money grabbing, the man is pretty much constantly in debt. He provides the majority of his services for free (all Doujin-World releases can be obtained for free and the forum is, imo, a better source of images) and tries to provide all this while supporting a family. If you want to try and do any better without a small fortune to fund it or donations from the general userbase you may aswell go ahead and jam your head up your own ass with your ridiculous dreams as it isn't going to happen, ever. It boils down to this.. all he's asking for is a OPTIONAL (and here's the key word people) donation to help run the forum due to the overwhelming loss he makes on it. If you want to use the forums and have some spare money, then donate, everyone will appricate your combined efforts in getting the forum running again. If you want to see it alive but can't afford to donate, don't worry about it, hopefully we'll make it through somehow.. HOWEVER, if you want to sit here and troll like a fucking moronic child, just do yourself and the general public a favor and go play chicken with the cars in the near by busy intersection, I assure you that your company won't be missed. ~Maelstrom

Fuck me! 0_o All this commotion over the forum shutting down til enough donations have been collected. u_u Well, let me just say that, those who posted as Anon are either underaged or to stupid to understand the concept of running a forum that hosts GBs of hentai on it's servers. As it has been explained before servers costs money and the more bandwidth and diskspace that is used means more money, which could cost 100s, and in Numbus' case, even 1000s of dollars. If you want to look at free hentai, donate $1 or 2. Stop complaining like a child.

loli haet water

That's the reason I always wondered why Numbus allows on-site uploading of attachments. This policy keeps costs up, both by requiring bandwidth and hosting space - especially because people keep posting the same content again and again (ie single images + ZIP archive). For what I've seen this forum is hosted on Numbus' own servers, but I very much doubt that he also owns the pipes leading to them... And I've yet to see a connection contract whose cost didn't depend on bandwidth consumed. When people download attachments from forum servers, they consume Numbus' bandwidth, while if the attachments reside on external file hosts (Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc) he has to serve only the HTML (+ avatars and signatures); that's a lot less bytes to transfer, it sure would help cut down some of those 2500 dollars. If Numbus wants to keep access to the attachment for some reason (to check people don't post D-W material, maybe?) that's another story, but there's nothing stopping people linking stuff on other servers... Okay, rant over, now let's see where I put that PayPal password.

Im glad to have paid something like 12 euro's (it was in 2 payments since I dunno what 12 euro's is in dollars (like 16 dollars I think)

I'd like to donate, but i'm too paranoid about things like paypal and internet transfers, any other ways to donate that I missed in the donation thread?

I've sent an email through Contact Us on the forum but dunno you got it. It's been some time that I don't get update emails(since 11/28 I think) and I thought it was Hotmail's problem, so I changed my account email to a gmail one, but never got the confirmation email, then changed back. Now My account needs activation... I hope that all is resolved by the time the forum is back up. Good luck. ;)

I'm going to be the first useful anonymous. One of the main reasons i believe the forum attachments are hosted on server is ease. Though there are many outside sources such as imageshack and the likes many will eventually (this has happened to many nonzipped files) get nominated by takedown from those sites. That scenerio also means anyone who does want to upload a file has another hurdle to overcome in uploading it (though its not a big hurdle think about it this way, if you had 10 pictures to upload do you really want to upload them one at a time and then link them one at a time to the forum? it would take you an unecessary amount of time). The problem with external sharing like megaupload or rapidshare those two in particular got download caps, sendspace has space caps sometimes, gigashare doesn't have space caps but will drop down really low for speed when spots are filled. Ill put this into perspective for those who don't understand forum costs, a single picture can range from 60kb to around 500kb on average, many of these pictures will hit over 1000 views so were talking 60mb-500mb from a single picture. Many doujinshi will have two parts but for the sake of argument lets assume a 15mb doujin, if that were to get 500 clicks were talking 7.5 gigabytes from that single doujin. In a day we can easily assume a minimum of 75 pictures will be posted daily (even reposts count because everyone will click them), and at least a dozen doujin per day, and who knows how many cg sets. Im not going to do any math on those because of a variance of size and an overgeneralization. Once again though others have said it ill say it again, its a free service. He is not forcing a donation out of anyone, and if anyone a problem with donating and know of the site they have some relation to it. Meaning if they're not for donating they are most likely leechers who whine when they don't get free stuff. If you have such a problem with how "bad" this site is run go away simple enough, stop leeching. But the truth in fact is that those who whine are most often the same people who think there opinion has a superior say in deciding how matters are handled. Though i did mention upon it i am stating that if a name is not given, and the person does not affect the forum in any positive way, then they need to get off their ass and do something useful. If they have any problems, and aren't willing to do anything useful they should just be quiet, Numbus is not paid by them and does not benefit from them or their whining. Should someone feel they have any such problem they odviously feel a better job can be done then how Numbus is doing, meaning they should leave. If any whiner thinks there whining is going to get the forum up and running quicker they are mistaken. What will get the forum up is them picking up an extra shift at work, or actually getting a job if they don't work and giving spare money towards the cause they seem to feel they have such a valid opinion in. But alas those who whined most likely are to lazy, to accomplish anything useful which is why they whined in the first place. For any donators who i may have offended in this process, my bad but those who don't donate and have issues ruin it for those who do donate.

I donated a couple bucks, if it wasn't for X-Mas coming up I could have afforded to donate a few more... VIVA HGF!

yep im kind of a leecher but i want to donate to the forum, now i have two questions 1-i dont have a credit card so theres another method of payment? 2-im not from usa (my poor english confirm that)so how i can make the payment outside the usa thanks in advance numbus

a couple points. If you donate, it no longer becomes free. However, an insane number of gigs of hentai for $2 plus a community of cool people is more than worth the money. And I can't understand why people are complaining. It's like they demand the service from Numbus, like they are entitled to it. The only thing they're entitled to is drawing it themself if they want it. Oh, I donated, but I never got donator status. I never realy complained about it, since you're busy and it wasn't too important, but now that it has a new meaning, do you think that I can get it? My e-mail should be on file.

Hello, I never really read any information when coming to this website. But today, I couldn't avoid because it was the first big message I saw when logging on this site. I have been a leecher for a couple months now and had no idea it needed cash. I really like this website and hate to see it go down or turn out to be like that crappy hentaigeek.com site. Like one of the guy said earlier, I don't really use online payment cause I don't know how but if you can mail me some ways of donating I would be more then happy to. Thanks, your loyal leech Sanic!

oh and my hentaiplam name is Scin, not sanic. so send me a mail ok nimbus

Just made a donation. Been on the forum for a while, but haven't been among the most active...however I enjoy it a lot ^_^ And honestly, I don't see why some people complain about this. Maintaining huge sites costs a lot of money, as well as time and effort, and Numbus is doing a great job here. When he needs our help keeping the site up I think we'd rather throw in a few bucks, than complaining about it.

Talvert: When the forum comes back up, send a PM to Numbus to receive Donator status (it's not an automatic process). If the e-mail for the forum is different than the one used to send a donation, include it and the amount donated in the PM.

numbus is like a "free" crack dealer that asks for donations. cuts off your supply and the donations come flooding in.

Is there any other way to donate without using a credit card cause I don't own one

DarkNemsis, and anyone else wanting to donate without putting their personal ino on the line; Get a disposable credit card befoe your XMas shopping, and use what you don't donate to buy your gifts! Walmartgift.com has a store locator for wal mart locations that sell their store-branded cards. My local wal mart doesn't even charge a fee for the non-rechargeable cards, and 5-10USD for the upgraded equivalent. Then, just get a free paypal account and add that disposable card as your info. Congrats, now you can donate. Even those of you who are underage lurkers can do this. Let's face it; I'll bet 1/3rd of the leechers and lurkers on the forum and site are horny 13-17 year olds. If you ask me, that's fine. I fapped it to porn before I was 18, too. Just, if you can, reguardless of who you are, try to donate. I myself am in a very bad financial situation right now, but I promise that next month when I try to get a credit line going (never bothered before, checks did fine.) I'll drop some money to keep things going here.

I will donate once I am done with my finals (: In the mean time, if people want Free Hentai!!! they could check the partners page on the left menu of hentaipalm. Some of the links Offers nice Free hentai.Just Browse them

Tbh I'm against the idea of hosting offsite, one of the reasons I prefer HP is the fact I can download all I want off quality, fast and reliable servers without any wait time and no need to worry that the images/files will get deleted. This also makes it easy for contributers, I seriously can't be arsed to upload the same files over and over because they got deleted. Also Posted by (Anonymous) on December 10, 2007 at 04:23 AM did make some useful comments :P

way to go shock. tapping the underage market. the people with no jobs, and $1 a week allowances. brilliant. XD

Ok, let's be honest here people. If you here bitching about Numbus asking for donations or arguing about how much it should cost; it means you've most likely frequented this site. It also means that you've probably leeched from it. Now, paying a few dollars a couple times a year is much more preferable than paying $30 a month for a pay site. Not to mention most of those pay sites have a FRACTION of the hentai available here. So instead of bitching about having to "pay," how about you suck it up and chip in a few dollars...in the end $10 a year is a lot cheaper than $30 a month...

if your going to need donations for next year ill donate 30 euro's a month

I donated 5 bucks via paypal a while back, but I was wondering how you would know who donated for reasons of site access during downtime. There wasn't exactly any blank space to put down my username. Thanks for the awesome forums btw.

Shagmar, watch it, your bleeding heart is getting my clothes dirty ^_^

*donates $10* I read your replies to the first ten comments (that anons was really retarded) and noticed you said you'd let leech- i mean donators back into the forums, how do you do that exactly? and no worries on asking for donations, it is a pretty costly investment to run the forums.

I beg you, do a Teenage Robot section!

Well I just like to say that I recently arrived back at HPalm and was saddened to see that it was taken down for financial purposes. I would love to donate money but I live on minimal income and live in an assisted living situation and cannot afford to donate. But I still hope that people will donate money to help save this forum because I believe I can be an asset to HentaiPalm. Unlike those buttholes at VGB, NV, AerisDies, and FMHentai. Those forums suck and I hate those guys because each and everyone of them has belittled me and mocked me for their own amusement. Because they are all buttholes. So Numbus keep up the good work and know that I am giving you all my support, which in this case cannot come in form of a monetary contribution, because I am on SSI and cannot afford to donate money.

ok the Forums were up a for a short time but when i went to upload some pics it was down telling me to Please check my weblog for more information. ~ Numbus what is up with that?

What weblog, Numbus? Couldn't you have gave us a link?

Sorry to here about the Finacial Situation, I hope my small Donation helps a bit and hope that every other Silent Leach(like me) finds it in there heart to Donate money to keep the forum that they Fap so much to open

Here is his webblog www.Numbus.com

*reads* What the hell!? Man, talk about someone being an outright sunuvabitch. I think it goes without saying that a lot of us are very sorry you got reported for that kind of bullshit, Numbus. (note to self: locate hentai-friendly Paypal alternative for beleaguered webmaster, as well as nail-ridden 2x4 for side of skull of jackass who narced)

I donated 50 cents. Heh, sure it's not exactly a lot, but it was all I had in my paypal. Hope it helps get the site back up on it's feet.

Gee, wished I could help. But Paypal scares me into not setting up anything. =S All naysayers FUCK. OFF, all donors to site, GO YOU! I'll see what I can do to try and help.

Hey I was a donor and you never gave me donor status. I gave you the PM like you wrote but you never replied. I gave you $40. If the site is going down I would like that status before it does just so that the community doeds not think I didi not contribute.

The person who did this to our HP forum,must be banned for good.The best hentai forum of the earth:brainless assholea report Paypal,that the donation site hosting "sexual content" "Links".The heck with those people.BURN ...to hell. NUMBUS:WE LOVE YOU(KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE)

I posted on your weblog (thanks to (Anonymous) on December 11, 2007 at 07:33 AM for giving the URL to that! [ Here is his webblog www.Numbus.com ]), but, still... Just wow. -_- I want to hurt somebody... Some THING now. *goes to play video games* I wish I could get my hands on that F'er. ;x Somebody needs a good, long, hard thrashing...

Hello, I donated $5 2 days ago. I know its not much, but I'm wondering how do I get a donor status?

If i remember right you give the amount, your email,...and your username. Then he gives it to you...Maybe Nimbus game it to me and I could not tell. How did the forum tell you that you were a donnor? was there a symbol?

Actually, I would love to donate some money, but I dont have the creditcard required for paypal. Is there any other way of donating?

Just to inform you I've donated twenty five dollars to your cause for the forum site. Hope you bring it back up.

Great site. Sad to see it struggling with financial issues. I have been able to afford to donate yet due to the same problem as bluepiggy, and a lack of funds . Hope to see that everything works out, and thanks to all who donated so far.

asdasdasdasd

Great !!wadawd

super super
